Scott - You're never too old!

As for size: if we are doing outdoor, 12-14/side is great.

If we are doing indoor, 5 on the field and 10/side is great.

My understanding is futsal is in between in intensity to outdoor and  
indoor, meaning we could either do the 3-team rotation or just do lots  
of subs. I know I won't play the whole time :-)
